2009 - Publications in English

Mon, 01/12/2009 - 13:05 — ahmedakhan

Long-Form Works(Including novels and single-author short-story collections. In the Hugo and Nebula rules, a novel is defined as more than 40,000 words; no word length is specified in the Aurora rules. Single-author collections are eligible for the Aurora but not for the Hugo or the Nebula.)

Other Works(A category for the Aurora Awards that includes multi-author anthologies, magazines, critical works, and more; the Hugos have a category for "Best Related Book," defined as "Any work whose subject is related to the field of science fiction, fantasy, or fandom, appearing for the first time in book form during the year in question, and which is either non-fiction or, if fictional, is noteworthy primarily for aspects other than the fictional text.")

Sawyer, Robert J. Earthfall. TV pilot script publicly performed with a full cast live at the National Film Board of Canada theatre in Toronto on 27 November 2009, as the winning entry in the WILDsound TV Pilot Competition

Also, shouldn't the category currently labelled 'Illustrators' be something more expansive like 'Artistic Achievement'? It's open to many forms of art beyond traditional book covers. A webcomic artist won in the Auroras last year.

I hadn't checked until now, and noticed the wrong novel listed for me in 2009. I have made the correction and apologize for not checking sooner.
It should be _Rift in the Sky_. The novel listed previously is not eligible this year, as it came out in 2008 (_Riders of the Storm_).
Thanks!
